Does prosperity require competition and capitalism? What if we create prosperity built on sustainability and cooperation instead? If we agree this is a worthwhile idea, working together we could easily combine sustainable food, energy, housing, education, economic design, social architecture, and even fulfilled living practices to provide a self-sufficient living model that would eliminate almost all living expenses and provide a better way of living than the way most people are experiencing now. We could further share this model as an eco-tourism destination to provide revenue for expansion without people having to work traditional jobs; the experience of how they were living would be enjoyable enough that people would want to vacation and visit. This is the foundation of One Community’s model for world change and we’re open sourcing it as a model for living and creating for The Highest Good of All.
